THE URBAN ERA: TOWARDS THE SUSTAINABLE CITY

On 20 June 2022, Spain presented Málaga’s candidature to host the 2027 World Expo with the theme “The Urban Era: towards the Sustainable City” at the 170th General Assembly of the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE).

Spain is competing against four other candidates: Argentina, the United States, Serbia and Thailand, and must defend its candidature in the assemblies of November 2022 and June 2023, when the winning city will be announced.

“The Urban Era: towards the Sustainable City” is a proposal that connects with and is based on the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This theme calls for reflection on one of the main challenges facing contemporary society in the medium and long term: making population growth and urban development compatible with environmental protection and the adoption of innovative solutions that guarantee improvements in the quality of life of city dwellers.
